“Get lost.”
It wasn’t Yuan Muchun who spoke, but Wen Xuchen, whose face had darkened.
Yuan Zhengchong’s words were stuck in his throat.
“What did you say?”
Wen Xuchen’s gaze s.h.i.+fted from Yuan Muchun, whose face was covered by the blanket, to Yuan Zhengchong. His tone was indifferent, but it sounded terrifying.
!!
“Do you understand or not?”
“You…”
Yuan Zhengchong pointed at him for a long time without saying a word.
This person looked refined, but his words and actions were unexpected.
From the way he carried a woman in, one could tell that he wasn’t easy to get along with.
The others’ att.i.tude towards him was obviously respectful. Judging from his aura, he didn’t look like an ordinary person.
And now, she dared to act so brazenly in front of him…
He had to consider if he should offend this person.
In short, they seemed to have a good relations.h.i.+p. Although it didn’t seem easy to get along with her, it was better than having an enemy.
The Yuan family was afraid that Shen Fanxing would take advantage of the situation.
Turning his head to look at the person on the bed, he snorted and left.
With the sound of the door closing, the ward fell silent.
A few minutes later, Yuan Muchun couldn’t help but lift the blanket.
As expected, Wen Xuchen was still standing there.
Although her eyes were red, she still smiled at Wen Xuchen.
“Thank you for standing up for me…”
“I implicated you in this matter.” Wen Xuchen stared into her eyes, his gaze silent.
Yuan Muchun shook his head. “I was careless and couldn’t reject Zhuang Chen. But I still don’t know why Zhuang Chen did this to me…”
“If a girl wants to cry, she can cry. Since she’s aggrieved and sad, why should she endure it?”
Wen Xuchen didn’t seem to hear her. He suddenly spoke, his gaze fixed on her reddened eyes.
Yuan Muchun stared at him quietly. “What’s the point of crying?”
What could he get in return?
It was the so-called impatience of her family and the cowardice and incompetence in the eyes of others.
She was a weak person. She couldn’t remind others how weak she was.
“Go ahead. I didn’t sleep well last night.”
She ordered him to leave, her voice choking.
Wen Xuchen looked at her silently for a while before leaving the ward.
Under the blanket, Yuan Muchun bit her lips tightly, but her tears still seeped into the pillow.
She couldn’t understand why she was so sad this time. After all these years, she had acc.u.mulated countless grievances and sadness.
When Bo Anxi rushed over, Yuan Muchun was already asleep.
Looking at her swollen eyes, he sighed softly.
Silly girl.
*
When she woke up, it was noon.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Wen Xuchen sitting on the chair beside the bed, guarding her.
Seeing that she was awake, he called Wu Sheng to prepare lunch.
“Why… are you still here?”
She was flattered.
Wen Xuchen glanced at her calmly. “Have you cried?”
Yuan Muchun pursed her lips awkwardly.
“Give me your hand.”
Yuan Muchun looked at him blankly. “What?”
Wen Xuchen raised his chin at her arm. “Reach out.”
Confused, Yuan Muchun reached out her hand. Before she could react, there was a lollipop in her palm.
The light pink wrapping paper was peach-flavored.
Her fingers trembled slightly as she looked at the indifferent man opposite her in shock.
“How did you…”
“I’ve long told you that a crying child will have candy to eat. Seems like you’ve forgotten everything.”
With Wen Xuchen’s words, tears streamed down Yuan Muchun’s face.
“Brother Xu… You’re Brother Xu…”
Wen Xuchen snorted. “I thought I was the only one who remembered.”
“I’ll remember!” She spoke very loudly, afraid that Wen Xuchen wouldn’t hear her. “I’ll remember! You’re the only one who will give me a lollipop after I cry. Others, others… waah…”
It was as if the grievances and sadness that had been suppressed for many years had burst at this moment. She suddenly raised her head and cried.
Wen Xuchen allowed her to cry as he stroked the top of her head helplessly and handed her a tissue.
After coming back, she had a rough understanding of her life. She only knew that the Yuan family was not as good to her as the eldest daughter, but they were not stingy when it came to materialistic matters.
It wasn’t until she saw her so-called father’s att.i.tude towards her in the morning that she understood that her life wasn’t as glamorous as it seemed.
“With me around in the future, there will be plenty of lollipops.”
Yuan Muchun couldn’t help but laugh again.
“It’s not like I can cry much. I can’t eat much.”
Wen Xuchen looked at her in confusion. After a few seconds of silence, he said,
“I did implicate you in this matter. Zhuang Chen probably did this because of Zhu Zan.”
“Zhu Xi?”
Wen Xuchen nodded. “I’m the same age as Zhuang Chen. We grew up together. Zhu Zan is the same. If there’s a relations.h.i.+p problem…”
Yuan Muchun understood immediately. “Zhu Heng likes you?”
“… Back then, she mentioned this to me, but I didn’t agree. Later on, I could sense that there was a barrier between me and Zhuang Chen, and I understood what was going on.”
“I made myself clear back then, and Zhu Zan expressed that he understood. Later on, because of her job, she worked under me. However, I’ve already arranged for her to manage a branch company two years ago. She’s quite capable.”
Yuan Muchun listened quietly and suddenly asked, “Why did you suddenly send her out two years ago?”
Wen Xuchen looked at her deeply. “…”
Yuan Muchun seemed to know something and quickly looked away awkwardly. “Ah… I was just asking…”
After all, it had been many years since they last met. She was indeed very curious about his life.
“Indeed, something almost happened. I was too full of myself, so I didn’t want to ruin her life.”
He spoke tactfully, deliberately preserving a woman’s dignity.
Something almost happened…
Yuan Muchun mulled over her words and her chest relaxed slightly.
“So… Zhuang Chen did this to avenge Zhu Zan? He accepted me because you didn’t accept Zhu Zan?”
If she had to find a reason, that was the only reason she could think of.
Wen Xuchen didn’t say anything, which seemed to be a tacit agreement.
Yuan Muchun clicked her tongue. “But he has a fiancée… Forget it, he’s a sc.u.mbag.”
She clearly had someone she liked, but she still had to accept the arranged marriage. With a fiancée, she could still play with women openly.
Even if he didn’t like Rong Wen, didn’t he think of the woman he liked when he slept with another woman?
She shook her head. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that Zhuang Chen was really bad.
Wen Xuchen didn’t deny her words and said,
“All these years, your father has treated you like that?”
Yuan Muchun’s relaxed expression gradually froze. “…Not really. All he cares about is money and power. Other than being more biased towards Yuan Sichun, I get along well with them. I spend most of my time in school, so they won’t think of me.”
“It’s just that the Yuan family has been busy recently. His outstanding daughter has caused a huge mess and lost her value as a woman. That’s why he finally remembered me.”
Perhaps she felt that she had said too badly, Yuan Muchun smiled sweetly.
“The Yuan family is in a mess now, but I’m not that sad. I’m even very happy. The Yuan family seems to be an existence that can devour human nature. For the Yuan family, I don’t know how many more overboard things they can do.”
“Although I can’t live without him since I was young, instead of letting Yuan Sichun ruin it, it’s better to let others show its value.”
Wen Xuchen pursed his lips and nodded. “Indeed, you’re right.”
“Really?” Yuan Muchun’s eyes lit up. “Do you think so too? If others hear these words, they will probably think that I’m ungrateful.”
“You’re not,” Wen Xuchen said in a low voice.
Yuan Muchun smiled happily like a child who had received a compliment.
*
“What?! You found your lollipop man?”
The next day, Bo Anxi’s surprised voice sounded from the ward.
Yuan Muchun nodded happily. “That’s him… I didn’t expect him to change so much after so many years!”
“He has long recognized you, hasn’t he? Then why did he bully you on purpose? He wants you to be his servant for the rest of your life. Tsk, why can my nimble nose smell a conspiracy?”
Yuan Muchun blinked and said, “What conspiracy could there be? Everyone in the Yuan family is avoiding me now, right? I’m afraid others are avoiding me. Besides, it’s our first time meeting, he might not recognize me at a glance. Besides, it was indeed my fault back then…”
“Stop, stop, stop, okay, okay. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have said that he had ulterior motives!”
“You… have ulterior motives towards me?” Yuan Muchun widened his mouth in surprise, his face gradually turning red. “How… how is that possible?!”
Bo Anxi pursed her lips and reached out to tap the s.p.a.ce between her eyebrows. “You should be more careful. Don’t try to avoid me. You’re in the prime of your life now. You’re a beautiful lady! I don’t think he’s short of money. Be careful, he might covet your body!”
Yuan Muchun’s face was so hot that steam seemed to be coming out of it.
Seeing her like this, Bo Anxi couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh.
“Hey, that Rong Wen… the woman who hit you yesterday, apologized publicly!”
Bo Anxi took out her phone to look at the news online. “She’s in a wheelchair and her face is swollen. It seems like she’s been taught a lesson. The gossipers in school should shut up now.”
Yuan Muchun watched the video with Bo Anxi and nodded. “I know… The school called me yesterday afternoon and apologized.”
Bo Anxi was a little surprised. “Apologize to you?”
As a famous inst.i.tution of higher learning in the country, there were many capitalists behind them. They were rich and famous, and they were used to putting on airs. She was surprised that they took the initiative to apologize.
“Yes. I didn’t expect that either.”
Bo Anxi raised an eyebrow and looked at her curiously. “You really don’t know? Could it be your lollipop man’s doing?”
Yuan Muchun shook his head.
But after thinking about it, beside her…
It was hard for her to believe that the Yuan family had helped her.
Even if they hoped that it was a misunderstanding.
Only Wen Xuchen would do that.
“But I think there are more people denouncing Sister-in-law and Cousin online now. Sister-in-law is really beautiful and pitiful. Her grandmother has sued her.”
“And Grandpa, he chased Cousin out of the Bo family for the Yuan family.”
Throwing his phone aside, Bo Anxi leaned back in her chair and sighed.
“We sisters are in the same boat. After the Bo family’s incident, my father also wanted to monopolize the power of the Bo family. Now that everything is in a mess, I’m afraid that he will push me out to be the Bo family’s sacrifice.”
Yuan Muchun also sighed. “Speaking of which, the main reason why Brother Bo left the Bo family is because of the Yuan family…”
“It takes two to tango. The thought of Grandpa forcing Big Brother to marry your sister makes me feel terrible. Big Brother and Sister-in-law are already married… What era is it now? Getting a wife depends on family background… Besides, what kind of person is Big Brother? How can the wife he finds be bad? He’s so stubborn!”
“I wonder what will happen to our families in the future. If we go astray, our lives will be over…”
Yuan Muchun pursed her lips. It seemed like An Xi was in deep trouble.
The two of them couldn’t help but worry about their future. Unknowingly, it was almost noon.
Seeing the time, Yuan Muchun grabbed Bo Anxi’s hand. “Anxi…”
Coincidentally, Wen Xuchen pushed the door open and walked in.
When she saw Bo Anxi, she nodded in greeting.
Bo Anxi raised an eyebrow. Her eyes landed on the lunch box in his hand and she stood up.
“Since someone is here to accompany you, I’ll leave first.”
Yuan Muchun opened his mouth with a strange expression, but Bo Anxi left quickly.
Wen Xuchen placed the plate in front of her and placed lunch on it. He unb.u.t.toned his suit and bent down to sit by the bed.
Yuan Muchun stared blankly at the bowl in his left hand and the spoon in his right.
“Open your mouth.”
“Brother Xu…”
“Isn’t your right shoulder injured? Try not to move now and recover as soon as possible.”
Yuan Muchun licked her dry lips and swallowed the porridge.
After finis.h.i.+ng the porridge, Yuan Muchun sat up on the bed with his left arm while Wen Xuchen was cleaning the rubbish.
When Wen Xuchen returned, Yuan Muchun was placing his leg on the ground.
“What are you doing?”
Yuan Muchun was shocked by the cold voice.
When she looked up, Wen Xuchen was walking in with a dark expression. His eyes were filled with sinister anger.
“I…” She flinched involuntarily.
“You don’t want your legs anymore?”
Wen Xuchen was really angry. Compared to the injuries on her body, the injury on her calf was the most serious.
Now, every step she took was torture. He didn’t even let her eat, but she did.
“But I…”
Yuan Muchun bit her lips, afraid of his current expression. She lowered her head and whispered,
“I want to go to the toilet. I’ve endured it for the entire day…”
She hadn’t dared to drink water since yesterday.
Wen Xuchen was stunned for a moment. Looking at her red ears, a hint of awkwardness appeared on his handsome face.
However, he restrained himself and walked to her silently. He bent down and picked her up before walking towards the washroom.
Yuan Muchun wanted to die.
She was thinking about what to do later!
Indeed, Wen Xuchen carried her into the washroom and stared at the toilet bowl for a while. Then, he lowered his head to look at her before s.h.i.+fting his gaze to her pants.
Yuan Muchun was so embarra.s.sed that she was about to cry. “I can…”
Wen Xuchen suddenly exerted force and flipped her onto his shoulder. His large hand touched her waist and pulled her pants down forcefully. Then, he bent down and placed her on the toilet.
Yuan Muchun, who was stunned on the toilet, was speechless.
Could he just stuff her into the toilet bowl and flush her away?
“Call me when you’re done.” Wen Xuchen’s expression didn’t change.
Without waiting for Yuan Muchun’s response, she closed the door and walked out.
Yuan Muchun was stunned for a long time before she sat on the toilet bowl and covered her face.
After a while, just as she was about to stand up and pull up her pants, the bathroom door rang.
“Done?”
Yuan Muchun was fl.u.s.tered. “Ah… Oh!”
Hearing this panicked voice, Wen Xuchen narrowed his eyes and opened the bathroom door.
Yuan Muchun sat on the toilet bowl and looked up at him. She had one hand on the wall, obviously trying to do something.
Seeing this, Wen Xuchen carried her silently. His eyes slid across the fair and round hill. When he touched her pants, he pulled them up again.
Yuan Muchun was placed back on the bed. She pulled the blanket and covered her face.
“If you have any needs in the future, just say it. The patient is genderless.”
A m.u.f.fled “oh” came from under the blanket.
Wen Xuchen didn’t stay any longer. He walked out of the ward and closed the door before rubbing his forehead uncomfortably.
The patient was genderless.
He wasn’t a doctor.
*
Yuan Muchun stayed in the hospital for a week before she was discharged.
The lawsuit between Shen Fanxing and her grandmother had just ended and the outcome was unexpected.
Many unexpected secrets were exposed.
Although Shen Fanxing had won the lawsuit, she felt a little disappointed.
The outside world had mixed opinions about her.
The grudge between her and Yuan Sichun was no longer concealed.
Yuan Sichun was probably giving up now. She would cause trouble for Shen Fanxing whenever she had the chance.
His methods were not brilliant. In fact, it was obvious.
She didn’t care either.
Now, Yuan Sichun was worried again.
Someone had suddenly invested a huge sum of money into the Yuan family.
For this, Yuan Sichun specially held a business banquet.
Initially, she thought that the Yuan Consortium was about to run out of luck. Who would have expected such a huge turn of events?
Yuan Muchun was so angry that his head was spinning.
How thick-skinned was Yuan Sichun?
Her reputation was already like that, yet she still wanted to be so ostentatious.
At the business banquet.
She wanted to see which blind thing had suddenly appeared to stir up trouble.
